Kings Of Leon - Glastonbury 2008 - 06 - Knocked Up

[killer199038]

amazing band 110%

[1967geraghty]

without a doubt the best festival tune ever!!!

[PhoeFira]

Very traditional song. Drums, Bass, Guitar, then vocals. Lovely.

[MrSpartanbass]

I remember watching this on T.V

In Summer drunk on holiday!

amazing performance!

been in to them ever since then. Keep making the good music!

[airleyd]

I,LL HAVE YER BABY!

[349031]

I just saw them in Dallas. They ended the show early due to problems. I am still a fan and there music is amazing. I will proudly go see them again any time. It was amazing until Caleb walked off stage.

[poohjc1]

Man what I wouldn't give to be a piece of bubble gum right now...Just sayin. Love me some Nathan:)

[besidethemoon]

@poohjc1 totally agree :)...what i wouldnt give to be beside jared right now

[scorch120298]

u nob , its glastobury, d verve n jay z playd there that nite 2

[xquickstrykex]

@scorch120298 I could eat a knob at night.

[ZorgDK]

i usually don't care for KOL but this song is great

[jsn2]

@ZorgDK I second that! OTOH i am in a process to become a fan as i just can´t find reasonable for a band to make such a materpiece whithout beeing a great one. Most likelly i was the one who didn´t "get it" at first.

[davyro66]

Went to see them last night 17/06/11 at Sunderland the atmosphere blew me away.These are probably the best band on the planet at this current time & they proved it last night they were fucking awesome & this tune was unbelievable having said that they didn't play a bad song all night,i've seen a lot of big bands live over the years but these are going to take some beating.

[yaashdev]

does anyone else notice that part where Caleb flubs the lyrics and goes blapm[eqrJay-z at 2:10?

[melovedisney1492]

@yaashdev He goes, "We like takin' on the town, The Verve, and old Jay-Z." As far as I can tell.

[chiemtenhave]

Everybody:

OOH WHOA OH WHOA OH OOOH

OOH WHOA OH WHOA OH OOOH

[stradivialli]

capita spesso nella vita di fermarsi e poi voler ricominciare...ora si riparte

[alicebabycakes]

OMG im so hyped for hyde park <3

[achmedda3rd]

@alicebabycakes yes!!!! day after last exam:)))

[theshtave]

nathan looks so fricken bored

[xcatpower]

@theshtave he's way too tight :>

[heidibirman]

This was my highlight of Glastonbury 2008, I still proudly wear my festival band from back then and the best memory was this song. Seen the guys 3 times now....they just keep getting better. All the new 'fans' that didn't know one song from before the 'sex on fire' days need to disappear!

[tobaccoflavouredrink]

as a fan, i feel ashamed if this amazing band knew what alot of their 'fans' are saying about them

[Arilovich]

Roskilde Festival this year !

[ctiinee3]

amazing, cannot wait to see them in sydney in November for the second time:)

[EveThomson10]

Kings of leon are one of the Best Bands Ive seen live, alongside Muse and Kasabian. It is an absoloute FACT that they are better live than on CD. Amazing band, such a talented family. Follow-we-will.

[luciferslefthandlady]

oooh oh, oh oh, oh, ohoh...that is all

[HastingsCFC]

MURRAYFIELD !!

[TheJonKings]

i was at this gig i moshed my untill my legs nearly fell off ......

[inyomawth]

I can't believe that there were rumors going around the UK saying that KOL wasn't deserving of playing at Glastonbury. Fuck u to those who thought that! They are the KINGS!!

[megz12587]

Ahh I wish I lived in Britain, then I'd have so many chances to see them live this summer!! American fans, step up so we can see our boys on stage at home!!!!!

[fork12]

Now they have "radioactive". What happened to them?

[Johannagiudice]

What I would give to see them on stage ...

[sunshinelove10]

I get chills when everyone is singing the "whoa oh oh oh..." part.

I get chills when they're live.

Simply, amazing.

[Daan7000]

SEE YOU AT PINKPOP 2011

[amras123]

2 people clearly dislike music.

they may also have a disability of sorts.

thats still no excuse.

[TheScottayy]

Cannot wait to see these in Manchester next June, this is my favourite ever song :D

[50centisaknob]

the purple aki!!! haha @ 6:21 

[patali09]

oh whoa oh hooooooooo

[FuckinFirstRecon]

@patali09 yeah baby!

[jitkaczek]

7:O4 lol

[Peloquo23]

more like the drummers looking fairly stoned

[yabodaflopa]

best live performance ever

[seven3803]

what brothers can do together on beliveabel;-)

[1994dantheman]

Cant wait 13th december manchester yeah

[yosuketsuppi0318]

this song is like a god gives me a birth in my ear!!!!

haha!!! greaaaatttttt!!

[RevelryGirl]

Knocked Up FTW!!

[sangrealnotreal]

one of the few bands that their live performances are better than studio ones, who ever disagrees fuck off

[wilma26rose]

@sangrealnotreal

I cannot disagree, so true

[bobolinho1]

Epic performance. My favourite Glastonbury moment ever. Full on grimey, dirty, kick ass rock and roll. Loved it, and still love it. KOL.

" We like taking on this town with the Verve and good old Jay-Z."

[chrischris098]

HYDE PARK 2 DAYS

[AlexCullen89]

i need to see them live. it's not _my_ kind of music, but their live shows must be... epic.

[ilovemutemath]

Why is the guy in front at 6:38 so ridiculously dirty?

[xXxTJJxXx]

i really really love this Song her letter is awesome o.O

[mcnultyfrank]

The drummer is the only one who has kept it real throughout their whole career.

[patali09]

@mcnultyfrank what do you mean by that?

[flyvid]

Great thing about KOL is they don't use many special effects in their songs and keep them fairly unedited. This means, that when they play live, it's as good as on the CD (in terms of singing and playing quality - atmosphere is something else). Sometimes, I can't even tell one from another.

[B2EGuitarRWiZ]

@flyvid on thatr last part couldn't tell if that was a good thing or bad?

[flyvid]

@B2EGuitarRWiZ A good thing, obviously. I'm sick and tired of bands with tons of special effects and overedited songs, who are then having problems performing live (because it just sounds weird and you can see the musicians know it). KoL is completely different.

[B2EGuitarRWiZ]

@flyvid thanks just wondering

[unScriptedLife]

wouldnt it just be the best if you worked as a security guard on one of these concerts? you get to go to a concert, and GET PAID for it :D

LUCKY BASTARDS

[connorokane1]

calebs wee hip sway hahahaha 6.34

[Strituplitldarlin]

this song numbs my brain and makes me smile and dance a little whenever i hear it : ]

[duckmanrocker]

Seen them 4 times, but would love to see them At Glastonbury.!

[thekarzycheif]

A Proper Live Song!

[Charleyjimmythe1st]

CalebsWordsAreSoMeaningful :)

OneOfTheBestFromTheKings<3

[badmofo3000]

OOOO WHOA OOOO WHOA OOOOooohh

[sufcmatt]

"We Like Taking On This Town, The Verve & Old Jay-Z" :) Love It

[tommyaw123]

I was there that night. Stood about half a mile from the stage.

Best night of my life.

Nuff said

[mismail88]

Nathan's Nonchalant-ness always makes me smile.

[kingwood2012]

Is Caleb Crying At 7:00?

Wow.

I Bet This Song Is Deep For Him.

[BTastings]

Did I hear a Jay Z reference?

[modjojojo1971]

Anyone who has seen KOL live is soooo lucky ! What I would give ! :)

[bwaaay]

Greatest night of my life!!!

[MysticalCow1996]

@modjojojo1971 same here! they were for manchester but they sold out too quickly and i was like DAMNN!!

[hirsty1979]

@modjojojo1971

They are amazing.



[ripismint]

@modjojojo1971 isle wight 2011 got my ticket booked

[rwebb61]

This is probably the best King's song of their best album for sure.

[AlfieD15]

@rwebb61 probably the best song ever

[ChrixPT]

this is amazing!!!1 i saw them at leeds but I need to see them again. I was too drunk to remember most of it..... worst mistake of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robbielock]

glastonbury 2008. i was there. this is the track that got me into kings of leon. what a fucking night.

[hassamdaudi]

amazing performacne oc a song that makes me laugh... and makes me think.. they GENIUSES

[beumsn]

This song is soo amazing. Especially live, I mean cmoon its soo good.

[axeman14]

I used to only like lead singers of bands that jumped around on stage but Caleb gets me excited just by standing still!

[maudan100]

i just love the walking swinging thing caleb does at 5.32/6.31!!

He alway's does that during knocked up!

Too bad the concert that i went to they did not do knocked up,, such a perfect song!

[MrGilly93]

really?? what show was that?

[maudan100]

it was in rotterdam, the netherlands july 2009, after 1 hour they did not come back on stage because someone threw beer at them, that's what nathan said on twitter.

I was really disapointed! Hope they come back soon!

[BTastings]

@maudan100 Who the fuck would throw a good beer on these guys? Maybe they were trying to give it to him? They drink like fishes.

[zajebski]

this song could last forever

[FuZaEA7373737]

nie no kurcze wyobraźnie rusza rusza:)

[Crusoe18]

Does anyone know if Matthew uses some reverb in his lead parts or is it only delay?

[badmofo3000]

i dont care...i dont care if you dont care

[johnc310]

im guessing lots of reverb and maybe even a compression sustain pedal?

[sugarGangXXJ]

maybe Nathan think " I'm bored...bored..bored.." just like the orange...xD but i love this song and KOL too...!!=)

[trulylovelylady]

Love every song i have heard them sing and play.  Fantastic group - best things to hit the charts for years!

[evansclark]

this song makes me laugh 22 much...lmao

[PurpleHazeHippie]

such an awesome song! KOL are great live! Cant wait to see them!!

[heryboz1]

the drummers bored because he wants to be at T in the park

[taylorinthepark]

You obviously haven't done Glasto then mate. Ive done 10 year's in a row at T in the Park and two year's at Glasto, just the two year's at Glasto pisses over a decade of T for me. Glastonbury is a REAL festival.. End of story. Oh and im Scottish so T was close to my heart but that changed : ))

[keithmoonprogidy]

ha the drummers lookin fairly bored...

[thekillers1stfan]

he kinda always lokks that way, sometimes he'll even chew some gum while drumming

[flaviogonzaga10]

@keithmoonprogidy he looks soo high

[BxSpartan]

@keithmoonprogidy yea, he always looks like that. lol its hilarious

[jackhaughey91]

@keithmoonprogidy i think hes just having a moment taking it all in

[trhoward8502]

@keithmoonprogidy probably high lol

[popololote]

[charleywhite]

why didnt they play - sex on fire, closer, use somebody??

i thought they was top songs which most people would like to see live.

cold desert and notion are also great songs!!

i am going to leeds festival this weekend and would be dissapointed if they missed any of them out.

[RunEd51]

This was a few months before that was released. I'm sure they'll play them at Leeds

[charleywhite]

oh thats makes sense, didnt realise the date of this concert. thanks :)

[thebritgirl2]

because at the time Only by the night wasnt released yet lol

[charleywhite]

lol as i said above. i didnt realise the date of the concert until after i typed the message.

leeds festival was great by the way. kings of leon sounds great live

[Jonesy611]

It's people like you who make people like me angry. I bet you didn't even know they had 3 albums prior to OBTN.

[charleywhite]

yeah i had no idea they had other albums,

i only started liking kol after watching an episode of eastenders which max had bought concert tickets at the O2. lol..

i want on youtube and really liked them, then i bought their album. then bougnt the leeds festival tickets with my brother and went for the sunday. KOL said on stage that they wont be back in the UK for a long time :(

[thebritgirl2]

but there will be another album after this 'long time' ; ), they're taking a well earned break, and because they dont like twiddling their thumbs, they will start recording a couple of months probably

[pipops86]

beautiful song!!!!!

[xxebunburyxx]

2:07 drummer looks bored lol

[nuggieman4]

0:09 i think he sneezes aswell haha

[Hellfire2120]

no that's what Jared does in order to test the mic

he's re-testing it cuz this was the first song in the encore

[frdrcksncn]

just realized that the drummer's always chewing gum. lol

[shizzlers0135]

lol true xD

[rosco86]

VGspurs is a bawbag

[dvdjmshrsy]

I don't think there will ever be another Kings of Leon.

They're in their own league, like Oasis.

[VGspurs]

Oasis!!! kings of leon are original Oasis just ripped most of there music from greater bands like The Kinks and Beatles

[bateman88]

I agree one hundred percent. I do like Oasis but lets be honest they were probably the least original band ever, i mean they even ripped of the hair styles of their idols and didn't deny it. Kings are in a different league all together.

[dvdjmshrsy]

Fuck off did they

[VGspurs]

well lyla for a start is a rip off of lola and the song importance of being idle is a rip from the kinks dead end street!!! everythin bout oasis is not original hairstyle, music videos, songs they have even admitted to it aswell

[ToonArmy22]

110% true

[Piggaletto]

The first time I heard this song, I'd heard like 2 or 3 songs by KOL, Use Somebody and Sex On Fire and maybe another one. This is the song that blew me away, the one I described as a "beautiful, desperate mess" and is one of the most beautiful and amazingly heart-wrenching songs I have ever heard. This performance of it literally brought tears to my eyes and sent shivers down my spine, I was in awe for ages. This really blew my mind, no one can describe what this song is to me. Amazing.

[hman7979]

I think I can relate...this was the first KOL song I heard and is still my favorite. Its also my number 1 most played in itunes -- 257 times lol

[Nuggetboi]

drummer looks bored!

[bateman88]

He's just severely stoned as he always is:)

[Nuggetboi]

yeah lol he is totally wrecked!!!

[Megho86]

grindin on some gum... something speedy!

[thejohno123]

i dont even like KOL but theyre fuckin great live lol

[nferfilms]

This song was the highlight of the festival for me (with Hallelujah by Cohen). I dreamed about it for night.

[marmolparrao]

Ladies And Gentlemen.... Rock Is Back with KOL!!!

[bisouxxxxx]

i quite agree, for a while i've been waiting for some good stuff. Nivarna were the best, can not be replaced, did lov um & this is just rock'in stuff hope they dont fade away 2 quick keep up the good work KOL

[dickdasterly111]

its an epic masterpeice i love this song

[BLCoolJ123]

OMG...when i first heard their songs i almost cryed because they were so good and no one is like them...then when i saw what they looked like i almost fainteddd (if thats even a word..lol). then i got even more happier because their all in the same family!:) OH this is not a diss or anything but i think they rock live.. i think the live version is a little bit better then the recoreded versions...because they get better and better each time! :) KOL rock! love them forever!!! :)

[demera12]

did he sneeze in the beginning?!?

[ihartmonkees]

I think so. Ahhh we sneeze alike! where you pronounce the sneeze. "achoo, achoo" hahah sooo cute.

[harryj2000]

i was there !!

[leedsbug]

hey me 2

[mrdennis]

"We like taking on the town, the Verve and Old Jay-z"

not sure if you all caught that. hah.

[iforwardhamish]

that was my favourite bit, we all gave them a big cheer there!

[Nuggetboi]

yeah lol!

[leeasp2008]

this song is so underated

its amazin and is a great live song

[Jonython123]

you're totaly right, its a great festival one, and good to get the crowd involved.

[pete2411991]

Reading festival woop woop!

[snappypappy1871]

Why did you mark him down because he is excited about them coming to reading festival? surely he is saying that they're a great band and just because they're not playing your favourite festival you don't have to get snobbish!
